Secret Ballot Watch

With a bill as bad as the Employee Free Choice Act, limiting the list of flaws to a top 10 can be quite a challenge. Still, with apologies to David Letterman, below are the first (but certainly not the last) 10 reasons why the anti-worker card check scheme must fail: 

10. Even George McGovern is against it.  

9.  Have you SEEN the unemployment rate lately? 

8.  Those clever Canadians could outpace us in the global marketplace.  

7.  Three words: Forced ... government ... contracts.  

6.  Card check does not have a friend in Pennsylvania – or anywhere else. 

5.  (Post)card check is no better than card check. 

4. Just ask Michigan how well it works.  

3. If we elect presidents and homecoming queens by secret ballot, why not unions?  

2. Jobs!  Jobs!  Jobs!  

1. “Free choice”? Yeah, right.
